PUBLIC WORKS 
There are several factors which influence how soon these streets could be paved, and I do not believe the 
dates in the request are possible for us to meet . The reasons why are as follows: 
• For sections with curb and gutter, especially those in the downtown area, I do not recommend 
paving these without engineered plans. The engineering will take time and then the project will 
have to be bid. 
• Even if we chose to move forward without engineering, the earliest a bid could be awarded would 
be June, which is only one month prior to the date requested for several of these streets. 
• There are approximately three paving companies that can sufficiently handle a job of this size, 
and I reached out to Rogers Group, who most often is the low bidder on these projects to inquire 
as to when they could do the work. If we notified them this week, early August would be the first 
available date for them to do the work . That date is dependent upon progress on jobs already 
scheduled and weather so it could be even later and in our experience it often is. Given that we 
would not be able to award the work until the bid process has ended, the most likely paving dates 
would be October 2025 or April 2026. This latter date is especially likely for Dennis Street between 
Decatur and Congress because so much base re-construction must take place. 
• Choosing a company other than from among these three would likely result in subpar work.
